Aglaonema is a beauty. Azalea half open I have not seen, I mainly grow the evergreen Rhododendron/ Azalea X; they do very well here in the subtropics. A complicated Climate. Sometimes very wet and humid and sometimes dry as a bone! Hot summer and cool winter. Always love and grow the rain lilies, which do well here too. Are you growing the white one as well? The pink ones are actually also a Hippeastrum species. Sundew I grow and loose in the ponds, get overgrown, my fault! It is such an intriguing plant to show to children. You have got a native visitor from Western Australia, the swan river daisy is a pretty little thing, very vigorous too. The used to be sky blue now they are hybridised in different colours, but I find the original does still grow best and nearly for ever! Thank you for your visits, I always appreciate your comments.

Might be worth checking this out if you didn't! Also Azalias like dappled shade not full shade,for flowers to bloom well.I agree with Angie about feeding.<br /><br />Isn't it wonderful when we see the first flower apear! Hope you see many more Swan River Daisies:)) Breathtakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883608347810648676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055656544285175590.post-32063186536826793252013-09-03T22:35:42.398+08:002013-09-03T22:35:42.398+08:00Growing plants best for you and your garden is a g...Growing plants best for you and your garden is a good practice ;-)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055656544285175590.post-21304339974084829572013-09-03T21:46:12.659+08:002013-09-03T21:46:12.659+08:00My azalea died from neglect, because it was placed...My azalea died from neglect, because it was placed in a nook and nobody noticed it.

Azaleas grow well here in Scotland in shade so I'm not sure lack of sun may be the problem. Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682908724307784154noreply@blogger.com
